New in version 4.0 About this app • Mobile MA is an unofficial Music Assistant client – independent and not affiliated with the Music Assistant project or the Open Home Foundation. The app now says so right at launch, at sign-in and under “Info & Help”. Mini player • Swipe the floating speaker button inward and it becomes a mini bar with artwork, title, play/pause and next. Swipe it back or tap the X to fold it away. (iPhone) Sound • Equalizer & DSP: a full sound chain per player – parametric EQ, high- and low-pass, crossfeed, compressor, safety limiter, room correction via impulse response, and presets shared by all players. Found in the player settings. (Unlimited) • “Stream Info” shows the audio pipeline: source quality, volume normalization and which filters are active. Library • Unavailable tracks are greyed out and are no longer played; the app tells you instead of ending in an error – for example on pre-ordered albums where only some tracks are out. • Every music provider gets its own unique badge – including providers the app doesn't know yet. • “Pre-orders” on Home now fills with Music Assistant 2.11 (beta). Local player • Short connection drops, such as switching from Wi-Fi to cellular, are bridged by the buffer: the music keeps playing while the connection is rebuilt.

New in version 3.9 Groups and scenes • “Rooms” are now “Groups”, and your saved groups are kept. In “Play on…”, groups sit as targets next to the players; scenes are no longer a target, since they bring their own source. • A scene can now play anything: an album, an artist, a track, a radio station, a podcast or an audiobook. • Groups reach your Apple TV via iCloud and can be chosen as a playback target there. • “Take over group” in the scene editor pre-fills leader and members. Appearance • Color world and typeface are chosen separately. Three new color worlds: Sunset, Lavender and Slate. Three new typefaces: Plus Jakarta Sans, Figtree and Oswald. Default and System are free, any other choice belongs to Unlimited. • Widgets follow your theme: display font, accent color and a calmer artwork background. Library • Provider filter: a chip bar above artists, albums, playlists, podcasts, audiobooks and radio shows a single music provider, remembered per list and inherited into artist and album pages. (Unlimited) • Podcasts, audiobooks, artists and playlists can be added to the library without favoriting them, and so can a provider's radio stations. • Player lists follow Music Assistant: players hidden there are hidden here too, and you can hide a player from within the app. Local player • New quality tier “Data Saver (Opus)”: music on the go with about a tenth of the data. The chip in Now Playing shows the tier and the actual format. Handling • After choosing a player, Now Playing opens right away. If you prefer to stay, a hint with a jump target appears instead (Settings → Appearance → After playing). • The floating speaker button shows sound waves whenever music is playing anywhere. • Faster start: the app no longer waits for server details before showing Home. • Apple Watch: the song title appears in the Smart Stack, the complication stays current, and the favorite key on the watch can be switched off (Settings → Apple Watch). • Continue Listening resumes at the remembered position even when the server doesn't apply it, in CarPlay too. Music Assistant 2.11 (beta) • “Pre-orders” on Home: albums in your library that are yet to be released, with their release date. Currently with Apple Music. • Thumbs down: the favorite chooser gets “Dislike”, and the heart shows it. • “Search on your services” in the album and track menus lets the server refetch an item or find a substitute. • Connection diagnostics check the stream address your server hands to players. Fixed • The Lock Screen showed a stale state for another player while the app was in the background. • CarPlay: playback errors on iOS 27 no longer quit the app. • Crash reports from iOS are included in the diagnostics recording. • The grid density briefly fell back to the default at launch before the purchase status was confirmed.

New in version 3.8 AI Radio • The Radio tab now has a "Radio | AI Radio" switch: your server's stations, started on a player of your choice, with a stop button while the show is on air. • Hosted segments are marked with a microphone symbol in the queue and in Now Playing. • A host for any queue: in a player's menu you can put an AI Radio host on whatever is currently playing, whether from your library, Spotify or Tidal. They talk between the tracks. • Stations can be part of multi-room scenes, and in CarPlay you'll find them under Library → AI Radio. • Requires the AI Radio plugin on your Music Assistant server (2.10.3 or newer, with a language model and a TTS voice). Library and Home • Albums by album artist: the album list can now be sorted by the album artist from the tags, as a shelf with all of an artist's albums together. The A–Z rail jumps by artist. • Every Home section has a chevron and its own page behind it, which keeps loading where the Home screen stops after ten tiles. • "For You", the AI suggestions, now sits at the top right of the Home screen. You can hide the button in "Customize Home". Local player • Hi-Res tracks can arrive as FLAC over Sendspin on request, lossless up to 24 bit. The quality level shows the expected data rate, and the local player can be renamed. • While CarPlay is connected, the local player stays reachable on the server, even when nothing is playing. Handling • The floating speaker button can be dragged to another corner after a long press when it's in the way. • Ambient sounds have their own motifs, which also appear as artwork while playing. • Running a multi-room scene now gives feedback instead of feeling like the tap was swallowed. • Czech is the tenth language. Fixed • Now Playing showed the last track played through Music Assistant for a player on an external source, such as Sonos radio. It now shows what is really playing. • Artwork flickered in web radio on every track change, especially in CarPlay. • The trial offer on first playback had not appeared since 3.6. • CarPlay crashed when navigation went too deep. • The diagnostics recording is shared as a ZIP and now arrives as an attachment in every mail app.

New in version 3.7.1 This version fixes two bugs. Now Playing on smaller iPhones • On iPhone 13, 14 and SE, Now Playing was cut off at the top and bottom – the icon row and the volume slider were missing. The cover now adapts to the available space, and everything is visible. • On iPhone SE, "Up Next" moves in as an icon next to Shuffle and Repeat, so everything fits on one screen. • For radio stations, "LIVE" now sits next to the provider instead of taking a line of its own. Shortcuts • In the Shortcuts app, "What to play" offered nothing to choose from. It now lists your playlists; typing freely still works. Open the app once after updating so the list fills up.

New in version 3.7 Portuguese, in two versions • Mobile MA now speaks Portuguese – separately for Brazil and for Portugal, each with its own forms of address and vocabulary. That makes nine languages: in the app, on Apple Watch, in the widgets and on Apple TV. Lyrics that really are lyrics • Lyrics now come from LRCLIB first and scroll in sync whenever a synced version exists. If your server's lyrics field holds something else – notes, credits, a description – you no longer get that instead of the song. • Below the text you can see where it came from: LRCLIB or your server's own metadata. Help in your language • The support page, the FAQ and the home page now open in the language you use the app in – no longer always English. When a language is added, you land there without updating the app. Which player is mine? • The player list and the player picker now show "This iPhone", "This iPad" or "This Apple TV" next to your own device. iOS only tells apps the generic model name, so the label helps you find it again. • When several players are playing at once, Siri and "Add to Queue" now always pick the same, predictable player. Improved and fixed • "Redeem code" is now right in the purchase screen – for Unlimited promo codes, on iPhone and Apple TV. • Volume: holding the button keeps counting in single steps instead of jumping. • AI suggestions: Apple Intelligence is no longer offered where it cannot deliver anything under iOS 26. • Bigger tap targets on the selection chips, on "Check again", "Technical details" and the detail buttons. • CarPlay says more clearly what happens when you add a track: it "is in the stack". • "What's New" shows the article for the version you have installed, not the newest one available. • Info & Help now carries our own logo at the top.

New in version 3.6 Playback position, rebuilt • Playback position has been rebuilt: it stops when playback pauses or stalls and keeps the right speed for podcasts and audiobooks – in the app, on the Lock Screen, in CarPlay, on Apple Watch and on Apple TV. Connections that tell you what's wrong • Connection errors now name the cause and the next step. A guided check helps you along, Cancel is always within reach, and switching profiles works even in the middle of a connection attempt. • Remote access no longer cancels its own connection attempt and falls back to your direct connection automatically. Setup now tells you up front when remote access over cellular needs a Home Assistant Cloud subscription, and the error names your alternatives. • Your iPhone shows up as a player again right after connecting, and the app is ready sooner after launch. New • Two new languages: Italian and Polish – in the app, on Apple Watch and in the widgets. • The timed sleep timer now runs on the server (Music Assistant 2.10 or later): it also stops network speakers while your iPhone is locked. 15, 30 and 60 minutes stay free; custom duration, "end of track" and "end of queue" are part of Unlimited from this version on. Both end modes work in the app as before. • Grid density: Comfortable, Standard or Dense for Home, Library and Favorites – on iPhone and iPad. Comfortable and Dense with Unlimited. • Two new themes: Green and Psychedelic (Unlimited). • Artist pages get "Play all" and "Queue all" – on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. • The heart in Now Playing and on player cards asks what you mean: song, album or artist. • "Show in Music Assistant": on a direct connection, jump from an album, artist or playlist straight into your server's web interface. • CarPlay: favorites grouped by type, large artist and album lists with an A–Z entry, podcast episodes newest first with episode number and date. Improved and fixed • The app no longer triggers automatic metadata refreshes on your server – your library entries stay as they are. • Customize Home: hidden sections now reliably stay hidden. If your server account lacks the rights for that, the app tells you as soon as you open the editor. • Podcasts: "Newest first" really shows the newest episode; episode numbers and titles stay as your provider has them. • Radio: title and artist are shown separately in Now Playing. • Sheets have a grabber instead of an X; the player overview no longer refreshes by accident. • iPad: with two windows open, both stay up to date. • Large text sizes: themes and app icons stay readable; artist images line up cleanly. • Support now runs through the support page and GitHub.

New in version 3.5 NEW • Themes: eight color worlds, seven of them with their own typeface – Standard and Arctic for free, Neon, Noir, Coffee, Creme, Pinkish and Colorful with Unlimited • Dark Standard theme: a softer dark grey instead of pure black • Players overview: player cards with artwork, previous/play/next, volume, sync and transfer (Unlimited); "Stop all" and "Mute all" at the top • Ambient sounds on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch and CarPlay • Diagnostics mode: record, review and share problems anonymously as a text file • Podcasts show release date and platform, radio shows the station • "What's new" presents features as a structured list • Try Unlimited free for 7 days: the offer appears once after your first playback – no subscription, no automatic charge IMPROVED • Playback on the go: music picks up within seconds after a dead zone, switching between Wi-Fi and cellular no longer needlessly interrupts a working connection, and it reliably resumes after Siri and navigation announcements • CarPlay: the first play of a trip no longer breaks the connection • No connection on the go? The app now tells you clearly when your server can't be reached from outside – and what helps: Home Assistant Cloud, a VPN or a public server address • Switching connections no longer tears down a working session; sign-out and delete are clearly separated, empty profiles can be filled again • Wi-Fi is no longer mistaken for cellular – full quality at home • Apple TV: favorite songs, album in Now Playing, artwork for internet radio, Siri Remote and system controls, live radio without misleading skip buttons, scenes via iCloud • Apple Watch: display exactly in sync with the iPhone, correct progress at higher playback speeds • Album view: source filters now actually filter – including what is handed to the queue • Widgets: no stale content after switching servers • Login: pasting from a password manager no longer clears the fields FIXED • Playing players without power control were wrongly listed as "Powered Off" • Progress bar no longer jumps to the start after resuming a podcast • Home screen: your custom layout and hidden rows are now reliably preserved

NEW • Apply multiroom scenes on Apple TV, Apple Watch, and CarPlay (Unlimited) • Data saver on the go: reduced streaming quality on cellular — automatically if you like (Unlimited) • Apple TV: free tier with up to 2 players; Unlimited unlocks multiroom groups, scenes, and the dynamic Top Shelf — existing customers get everything, of course • Home sections now sync visibility and order both ways with your Music Assistant server — remote mode included; server sections appear in your app language • Audiobooks: chapters as tappable jump marks, right in "Up Next" • Popular podcasts in the app and CarPlay, plus "Top picks for you" on the Home screen • Server version at a glance in your connection details • Apple TV: new onboarding, full German localization, and lots of visual polish IMPROVED & FIXED • Playback keeps running reliably in the background • Sendspin now registers correctly after switching connections; error messages stay visible until dismissed • CarPlay: skip no longer jumps back to the start of the track • Connection profiles with iCloud sync no longer switch connections on their own; caches are cleanly separated per server • Top Shelf now works on real Apple TV hardware, with a diagnostics view • Many more fixes: artwork, lock screen, podcast episode lists, seek accuracy, queue behavior on Sonos & co.

What's new in 3.1 Live Activity and Dynamic Island. Now Playing lives on your Lock Screen and around the Dynamic Island while music runs, with playback controls. On Apple Watch, tapping the Live Activity jumps straight into the Watch app. Apple Watch, smoother. Progress keeps ticking even between updates, lost commands are no longer silent, and the Digital Crown no longer jumps to a stale volume. Clearer selection, bigger touch targets and friendlier empty states round it out. Connection profiles that stay separate. Prod and Staging no longer bleed into each other — each profile keeps its own server and login, and a new "Add a different connection" flow sets up extra servers without touching the active one. CarPlay and Now Playing. Progress stays in sync during local playback, the CarPlay home mirrors the app, and external sources (TV, line-in, Sonos radio) show what's really playing instead of a stale title. Ready for Apple TV. Mobile MA can now hand your server credentials from iPhone to the Mobile MA app on Apple TV — in a tap via the picker, or with a 6-digit code. (The Apple TV app rolls out separately.) More polish. Album views show the track count, library covers load per server, and the local-player Now Playing close button is no longer clipped.

What's new in 3.0 Apple Watch app - control your Music Assistant players from your wrist. Browse players, see what's playing with artwork, play/pause, skip, adjust volume with the Digital Crown, favourite the current track and scrub the timeline. Connection profiles - save more than one server as a named profile (for example Test and Prod) and switch with a single tap. No more signing out and back in; each profile keeps its own Direct and Remote access. iCloud sync for your app data - scenes, alarms, home layout, speaker order, volume preferences and radio bookmarks follow you to every device and survive a reinstall. Search in CarPlay - find artists, albums and tracks by voice or keyboard while you drive. Pick the source in CarPlay - when an album exists in more than one source (for example local and streaming), CarPlay asks which one before playing and merges duplicate albums into a single entry. Redesigned Settings - a clean, categorised layout with a quick info button on each setting. A dramatic launch screen that shows your chosen app icon. Listen Later shortcuts - stash a single track or a whole album with one tap from the menu. Fixes and polish: - Local playback resumes on its own after short system or Siri announcements. - Now Playing shows the cover again for albums with more than one source. - The progress bar is now tappable to seek. - Discover explains an empty state instead of going blank, and stays populated on newer server versions. - Artist and album info loads more reliably and prefers your server's own text. - The scrobbler no longer counts a track as played when the stream drops out. - CarPlay recovers automatically when a player queue went stale. - Pull-to-refresh on Home no longer leaves the screen shifted. - You can paste a copied long-lived token into the login field. - Share Mobile MA straight from the app. - Consistent headings on Home and tidy in-app info texts.

New features: - Spectrum visualizer: When music plays on your iPhone, a real-time spectrum dances next to the format chips.

Tap again to dismiss. - New app icon design: a fresh "Rhythm" icon as the default, plus six new color variants (Ocean, Forest, Sunset, Mono, Light, and the previous icon as "Classic") - Home your way: all sections and Discover sources now live in one single list — freely mix, reorder and hide anything - Separate CarPlay selection: the Home configurator has an App/CarPlay switch, so your car can show a leaner selection than your iPhone - 7-day free trial: start the trial right from CarPlay; new hints in Settings make the offer easier to find - Add search results straight to your library via the new library glyph - Refresh button in the player list re-registers your iPhone if it has dropped off - DockTrace: new entry under "More apps for self-hosters" (coming soon) Improvements and bug fixes: - Artwork is far more robust: covers survive switching between LAN and remote access without reloading, no more stuck placeholders after reconnects, Lock Screen artwork loads from the cache, and the album widget reliably shows covers again - Compatible with Music Assistant Server 2.9: radio and artist images load again (changed image API) - Playback on the go: local playback resumes automatically after signal drops and no longer stutters on weak connections - The A-Z jump bar now works reliably in every library view - Removed duplicate Home tiles ("In progress", "The world of ...") - Fully revised French translation (consistent form of address) - Close X instead of "Done" in the Up Next sheet

What's new in 2.8 Continue Listening for podcasts and audiobooks – a new Home section picks spoken-word content up right where you left off, with the resume position kept in sync by your Music Assistant server. Hide or reorder it like any other Home section. Radio bookmarks that turn into real tracks – capture the song airing on a radio station, then resolve it against your library and providers. A resolved song can be played, queued, added to a playlist or favorited straight from the bookmark. Add to Queue everywhere – Play Next and Add to Queue on tracks, albums and playlists, always targeting whatever is playing now. Favorite in CarPlay – heart the current song, album and artist from the car. Per-speaker volume steps – choose how far the volume buttons jump, globally or per speaker. Similar music – find similar tracks, albums and artists. CarPlay Home now mirrors your app Home – same sections, order and visibility, including Continue Listening. More: connection details now survive app updates via iCloud, the edit-connection screen has a clear Cancel, and remote login shows the real server message instead of a generic error. Plus lots of polish – tidier Home rows, aligned artwork, clearer error toasts, better iPad sidebar behaviour, and many German, Spanish and French translation fixes.

What's new in 2.7 Rock-solid iPhone playback. Controls, progress bar and volume stay in sync, speed changes and skips apply instantly, and the volume now shows an exact number. Build your library from anywhere. "More from this artist" shows a provider's full discography, you can add albums, artists and search results to your library in a tap, and albums show whether they're already in it. One-tap home / away. A button on Home switches between your local and remote connection and clearly shows which one is active. Artwork that shows up. Covers now load reliably across the app and widgets, including on servers that were picky about image routes. Multi-Room scenes you can manage. Edit or delete your saved scenes right from Home or the Scenes screen. CarPlay and polish. Browse streaming artists in CarPlay, a consistent close button everywhere including Now Playing, haptic feedback, and a refreshed Up Next. More reliable everywhere. Reconnect after a dropped remote connection, errors are shown instead of failing silently, faster cold launch and smoother image loading, plus stability and crash fixes under the hood.

What's new in 2.6 Discover, redesigned. The Home screen now leads with a Discover grid powered by your Music Assistant server's recommendations: recently played, random picks, trending, continue listening and more. Reorder or hide any section, and jump straight to the layout from the new gear button. Know where your music comes from. Albums, artists, playlists and search results now show small source tags (SPO, AM, LOC, SMB ...) so you can tell at a glance which provider an item is on. Tap a tag to filter a list to that source. The filter even carries over when you open an album from an artist. A smarter Search. Results from different providers for the same item are merged into one row with all its source tags, so no more confusing duplicates. New scope chips let you search only your library or narrow to a single provider. Radio song memory. Heard something good on a radio station? Save it with one tap, on iPhone and in CarPlay, and find it again later. Party mode. A focused, shared-control view for when everyone wants to add to the queue. Favorite playlists now have their own tab in Favorites. Quick bug reporting. A new Report a Bug / Support entry in Settings opens our support pages or a prefilled email. Plus a lot of polish and fixes: reliable widget artwork, cleaner album track rows, correct covers for Apple Music playlists on Home, artist artwork and bios that load on the first try, playlists that no longer scroll on their own, tapping a song now plays from there, and a faster escape to network settings when a connection hangs.

What's new in 2.5 Remote Access via WebRTC – reach your server from anywhere. No port-forwarding, no VPN, no setup beyond your Remote ID and login. Listen to your library and stream local audio through the secure peer-to-peer tunnel. Multi-Room scenes on Home – one-tap section that fires your saved multi-room scenes from the Home screen. "+" tile opens the full management view. Album and artist info catches up automatically. The detail view now polls for descriptions and biography while you're still on the page, with a small loading indicator while it works. CarPlay improvements: alphabet picker on long lists, aligned caption columns, radio stations show artist / title / station name, queue progress stays synced, on-device playback as a CarPlay target. For You picks resolve to the right item in your library. Smarter name + artist matching means "not in your library" only appears when it really isn't. Listening history now includes plays from every client. The local store gets backfilled from your Music Assistant server on every connect. Audiobooks tab in Library and Favorites — chapter list, narrator credits, resume position, skip-by-seconds, playback rate. Widgets open the right item even when the app was on another tab. iPad Now Playing sheet uses the proper full-screen size. UI polish across the app: chip bars, sort menus, splash screen, library alphabet jumps, library covers render at consistent sizes.

What's new in 2.4 • Mobile MA Unlimited is here: the one-time purchase that unlocks every premium feature is finally available. Try Unlimited free for 7 days, then keep it forever with a single payment. No subscription, no recurring charge, Family Sharing included. • Hand the queue to another player: transfer the whole queue — current track, position, what's next — from your phone to the kitchen speaker in one tap. Pick the target from the queue header. • Save the queue as a playlist: built the perfect dinner-party mix on the fly? Save it as a playlist right from the queue header — no need to re-add tracks one by one. • Read up on the artist on Wikipedia: artist pages now link straight to the matching Wikipedia article in your language. German, French, Spanish or English, with sensible fallbacks. • Tap artist, album or queue from Now Playing: every title in Now Playing is now tappable.

Newest-first sorting stays put. • Widgets pick up the cover. Medium and large Discovery widgets now sit on a blurred version of the album cover instead of flat black, and the artwork rotates once an hour — not on every app switch. • Live radio shows what's actually playing.

Album Artists, Artists, Genres, Songs, Radios and Favourites are all reachable from the car. Scrobble actions land in the CarPlay UI too. • Listen Later is now silently provisioned on first connect and consolidates across all your devices.

Mobile MA Unlimited stays at the top, Connection & Diagnostics is a proper block, and the developer egg is still hidden behind five taps. • Music Assistant 2.9 features: decoded source format and M3U playlist export are picked up where the server offers them. Fixes: • Now Playing no longer duplicates the artist name in the title field for tracks that came from the server with "Artist - Title" pre-pasted. • The playback progress bar stops cleanly when you stop the queue. • Developer-menu IAP reset actually resets the entitlement — the previous reset was undone within seconds by an auto-refresh. • Failed In-App Purchase attempts now surface a localised toast instead of silently snapping back. • CarPlay favourites no longer fall out of the heart toggle state.```

What's new in 2.3: • Discovery widget on the Home Screen refreshes when it should. New albums and artists appear without restarting the app. • CarPlay works even before you open Mobile MA. Album artwork shows for tracks and radio stations. The heart button gives instant feedback. • Mark podcast episodes as played or reset their progress straight from the episode list. A check or a small progress bar tells you where each episode stands. • Listen Later is now a polished tab in Favorites — covers on every row, pull-to-refresh, and the playlist is rediscovered automatically after a fresh install. • Auto-reconnect after Wi-Fi → cellular handoffs, returning the app to the foreground, or brief network drops. • Long-press a track in any album or playlist to start playback from that point. • Album, artist and playlist detail views now tint their backgrounds with the cover's dominant colour. Fixes: • Widget no longer freezes on a stale image. • Marking podcast episodes as played no longer throws an error. • Tapping a radio favorite on Home now opens the player view. • Album favorite rows are aligned. • Repeat-1 and Next-track no longer make the Now Playing layout jump. • Dynamic Island clears when playback stops. • Listen Later cover art renders correctly. • CarPlay Now Playing artwork loads. • In-app purchase "Mobile MA Unlimited" approval flow fixed.

What's new in Mobile MA 1.8 • Brand-new Home screen with Recently Played, Recently Added Albums and Tracks, Random Artists and Albums, Recent Favorites, and Radio Favorites — your starting point on every launch • For You: AI music suggestions powered by Apple Intelligence on iOS 26, with bring-your-own-key fallback to Anthropic Claude or OpenAI for everyone else • Volume Limits and Night Mode: set a global maximum on the Now Playing slider and schedule a quieter night-time cap, with a session override when you really want to crank it • Search now finds radio stations by name alongside artists, albums, and tracks • Tapping Play on a new album or track really replaces the queue instead of quietly appending • Opening an artist or album without artwork or biography nudges the server to enrich it, so the next visit is fully populated • Album Artists and All Artists are now combined under a single Artists tab with a centered filter chip • Settings reorganized into clearer sections, and the Settings entry moved to a gear icon on the Home screen so the Players tab stays visible at all times • Recently Played cards now show artwork • Many small polish items: the AI Provider picker no longer dismisses the view, filter chips are properly centered, the favorite chip in Now Playing sits between the speaker name and the album artwork • Credits page now clearly states that Mobile MA is an independent third-party client for the open-source Music Assistant project
